While PCRI does have systems in place to adequately ensure procurement requirements are followed, the controls around these systems were negatively impacted due to the deficiencies outlined in Finding 2024-001 regarding staff turnover in the fiscal department, as well as staff turnover in the specific program area that incurred this finding and, while evidence that bids were sought could be located, inadequate transition of documentation led to the referenced bids being inaccessible. PCRI is taking steps to ensure centralized document management in the programs department as well as reinforcing controls around procurement via its outsourced accounting firm’s processes.

Finding 2024-001 Internal Control Over Compliance - Eligibility Program: Rural Rental Housing Loans Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Assistance Listing Number: 10.415 Internal Control Area: Internal Control Over Compliance – Eligibility Condition: The entity did not provide adequate documentation to the auditors to support eligibility determinations for certain tenants participating in the Rural Rental Housing Loans program. As a result, the auditors could not opine on compliance with this federal grant as it applies to tenant eligibility. Criteria: Uniform Guidance (§200.303) requires non-federal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over federal programs to provide reasonable assurance of compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of federal awards. Effective internal control over eligibility with this federal award includes procedures for verifying, documenting, reviewing, and retaining tenant eligibility information. Cause: The deficiency appears to be due to insufficient internal controls over the retention of adequate documentation to support eligibility determinations made by management. Effect: Because internal controls over eligibility were not operating effectively, there was inadequate documentation available to provide to the auditors for testing of such eligibility determinations. Recommendation: We recommend that management strengthen internal controls over eligibility by establishing formal procedures for implementing supervisory review of tenant files, and ensuring eligibility documentation is retained in accordance with program requirements. Management’s Response and Corrective Action: Management agrees with this finding and will implement procedures to ensure that all supporting documentation related to tenant eligibility is retained and easily retrievable.

The Town had an issue with information being sent to email addresses that are no longer valid. It was determined that the prior Town Treasurer and Assistant Town Treasurer were being sent notifications from the Treasury Department. Neither of these older emails were accessible by the Town. Therefore, the notices for filing requirements were not known. This has been corrected. The Town has now set up a dedicated Town Treasurer email account which can be transferred to any new official as necessary. All notifications from the Treasury Department for any future filing requirements will be sent to this email and addressed in a timely manner.
